So we've finally been able to start the cloth diaper journey!! Sophie's been so little that we were not able to use them right away but she seems to be growing pretty good and we decided to give it a go. It's been almost a week and there have definitely been a few blow outs and leakages but we're managing :) They really are much easier than I thought they would be!! They look and work just like disposables but I've just done a couple extra loads of laundry this week.
Other than that, not too much has been going on around here. Sophie was able to spend a little time with Grandma Timmer this week, and mom was able to have a little free time! :) Free time= a trip to the doctor and a dinner at church, but still it's always nice to have a few cry free hours and I know she's always in good hands! I'm enjoying the great weather we've had the past couple days...it's really making me look forward to more spring weather, and hopefully more stroller rides and outings in general...we're (I'm) getting a little sick of being home most days! :)
Here's a few more new pics of our sweet angel. We started getting some real smiles the past couple weeks, it's so cute when she reacts to us with smiles!! Also...she's slept from about 10:30-6am the past couple nights!! LOVING THAT! :)

Big yawns!!

letting my cousins take care of me :)

So being a mom is pretty amazing...even though I rarely get a shower in most days it's worth it when I get to cuddle with Sophie most of the day :) She's doing great, still a little peanut but we can tell she's growing (Eric says her belly is starting to get big! hehe) This are getting into a little more of a routine around here, the last couple weeks were a little rough for Sophie...she almost seemed colicky, just not content very often unless she was sleeping or held. But she seems to be feeling better now, she rests better so I can get more things done during the days and when she's awake she's much more content than she was the past week. It's crazy that she's already a month old today. We're definitely enjoying every moment of this new parenting role, it's such an amazing feeling to know that someone is completely dependent on you for all their needs right now. We love our little girl and we're enjoying watching her grow so fast before our eyes. Everyone tells you to enjoy the time because it goes so fast and we are definitely catching on to how true that is!
